On March 29, 2019, National Vietnam War Veterans Day honors the approximately 9 million veterans who served in the U.S. Armed Forces  during the Vietnam War.  The "day" was signed into law by President Trump on March 28, 2017.  Semper Fidelis.

To our "other" family: The Ohanesians want you all to know that

 Mom will be interred with Dad on May 30, 2019 at a graveside service, Arlington National Cemetery - 3:00 (or 1500 hrs). We are only notifying the 2/3 as this is a "family affair" and we consider you "our" family. We would love to have you but clearly understand it may be too difficult for you - if you come, 
you will be welcomed with a hug and a warm smile of appreciation. We will follow the service with a toast to both Mom and Dad at the Old Guard Bar. Beer was Dad's drink of choice! Please know we know very well, the Memorial Day week is a tough time to visit the DC area and we will know that 
you are with us in spirit! If you want any other details or
 decide you will be there, please call me directly 
(or text or email me) With warm regards to all..........

She wants help

by Donna Fuller on 03/19/19

Hi, Ron


My name is Ashley Miller. I came across your page while searching the 2nd Battalion 3rd Marines page. My Father (Cpl. Dennis C. Miller) was a Marine who served in Vietnam. He was a part of Operation Scotland 2, Lancaster 2 and Kentucky. I recently received his military paperwork from the national archives. My Father passed away June 2017. About 12 years ago he was diagnosed with prostate cancer and then shortly after developed severe dementia. He always told me when I got older he would tell me about the war. Unfortunately that wasn't able to happen as he didn't even know who I was after a couple years. I know Vietnam played a major role in his life as he was only a young teen when he enlisted. He received 8 medals/awards one of them being a purple heart. My Dad was everything to me. So finding out more about his life is very important to me. Not sure if anyone would remember him or knew him on the page, but I am curious. 

I saw in order to post anything, I would need to e-mail you. I am just hoping to maybe know a little more about my Dad. After the Marines he went on to be a police officer in a suburb of Chicago. My Dad was a warrior until his last day. I really hope I can find someone who maybe knew or served with him. 

I thank you so much for taking the time out to help me or post this e-mail. As always, thank you for your service as well.

Sincerely,
Ashley M. Miller
